Report: ‘Angry’ McCain Referred To Hispanics As ‘You People’ During Outreach Meeting

On March 11, Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), John Thune (R-SD) and Mel Martinez (R-FL) met with a group of Hispanic business leaders in the Capitol’s Strom Thurmond Room as part of an effort to reach out to Hispanic voters. National Journal is reporting that several participants in the meeting said McCain got “angry” while talking about immigration. At one point, McCain reportedly began referring to Hispanics as “you people“:

“He was angry,” one source said. “He was over the top. In some cases, he rolled his eyes a lot. There were portions of the meeting where he was just staring at the ceiling, and he wasn’t even listening to us. We came out of the meeting really upset.”

McCain’s message was obvious, the source continued: After bucking his party on immigration, he had no sympathy for Hispanics who are dissatisfied with President Obama’s pace on the issue. “He threw out <the words=""> ‘You people — you people made your choice. You made your choice during the election,’ ” the source said. “It was almost as if (he was saying) ‘You’re cut off!’ We felt very uncomfortable when we walked away from the meeting because of that...”</the>

But one person’s straight talk is another person’s vitriol. “My hands were shaking,” one source said. “I was nervous as no-end.” The senator’s comments went on for several minutes at least. And by the end of the meeting, another participant, who had supported McCain in last year’s presidential election, was so shaken by the display of temper that he decided it is good that McCain isn’t in the White House...

Re: Little Preview of what McCain would have been like as Psdt ... its flappin Mt McCain !!

Doc;
Update:
McCain lost,Obama won,and back in the now,the latest reality,not would've been is:
Excerpted from a non-right wing/Republican source:
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn04032009.html

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Woe betide a president who believes his own stump speeches. In his campaign Obama outflanked charges initially from Hilary Clinton and then from John McCain that he was a peacenik and a wimp by declaring week after week that Iraq was the wrong battlefield, that the enemy was al Qaida and their sanctuary Afghanistan. An excited vibrancy colored the community organizer?s rhetoric as he spoke of his determination to ?kill bin Laden.?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Most people thought this pledge would get lobbed into the trashcan the moment McCain conceded. But no. Last Friday I drove down Interstate 5 through the early spring blossom in Oregon?s Willamette Valley, listening to Obama on the radio marching through his schedule for escalation and victory in Afghanistan. He was born in the year JFK became president, but has this supposedly smart fellow not read a single decent history of the Vietnam war and of America?s defeat? Apparently not. Otherwise how could he blithely announce that ?We will accelerate our efforts to build an Afghan Army of 134,000 and a police force of 82,000 so that we can meet these goals by 2011?Going forward, we will not blindly stay the course. Instead, we will set clear metrics to measure progress and hold ourselves accountable.? Nothing perishes quicker in war than ?clear metrics?.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Signficantly,according to Ray McGovern?s recent piece on this site Obama did not order a National Intelligence Estimate as he evolved his plan, doubtless because he and his National Security Adviser feared such an NIE might arrive at the same sort of depressing assessment as the April 2006 NIE on global terrorism, which concluded invasions and occupations do not make America safer but lead instead to an upsurge in terrorism.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]It seems, from an inside dopester story by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times, cited here by William Lind last week, that in the White House sessions formulating Obama?s Afghan policy Vice President Joe Biden, and Deputy Secretary of State James B. Steinberg, argued for a minimal strategy of ?stabilizing? Afghanistan. Against them Richard C. Holbrooke, Obama?s special envoy for the region, U.S. Central Command leader Gen. David H. Petraeus and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton successfully sold Obama on a major nation-building program, bringing Afghanistan out of feudal poverty and backwardness into the healthful air of a stable and prosperous economy, respectful of women and the polling booth. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Maybe Biden forgot to point out to his boss that this was the Afghanistan model espoused by the leftist Noor Taraki in the late 1970s, setting off US alarm bells which duly led to Taraki?s murder and the CIA?s huge covert and successful intervention in support of the drug barons and warlords, whose feudal offspring are now America?s actual or prospective allies in the war on the Taliban. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=-1][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As Obama proudly flourished his alliterative triad (?to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan?) , I listened with the same dismayed frisson as I did more than four decades ago to Kennedy?s similarly childish rhetoric of intervention, whose dark underbelly was the murder of the Diem brothers, and the birth of the Phoenix assassination program of ?Viet Cong infrastructure?. [/FONT][/SIZE]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Obama?s brisk sentences commit thousands of fresh US troops to overwhelm the Taliban, oblivious of the judgment of sensible observers that it?s precisely the presence of foreign troops that prompts Pashtuns to support the Taliban and join their ranks. More brisk sentences summoned Pakistan to the crusade against terror, as if Pakistan?s intelligence establishment does not work hand in glove with the Taliban and protects al-Qaida leaders. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]The march of folly is under way. Bush and Cheney?s ?war on terror? is now married to Clintonian blueprints for nation building and social engineering, a wedding officiated over by General Petraeus, whose mythical surge in Iraq was hailed last year by Obama as having ?succeeded beyond our wildest dreams?. The fantasy of America?s healing kiss smolders and flares in Obama?s heart just as it did in Kennedy?s. Ray McGovern quotes Gen. Douglas McArthur as telling Kennedy in 1961: "Anyone wanting to commit American ground forces to the mainland of Asia should have his head examined." True then, true now. [/SIZE][/FONT]
